Popular Post Incanus 5,714 Posted February 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2019 3 hours ago, Jurassic Shark said: I've gotta say, the tracklist on this album is too safe, especially after the ultrasafe album we got from the LSO last year. You know, the one they "packed full". These compilations are almost always entirely directed at the general audience so the fan favourites are always bound to appear. We rarely get albums like Lights, Camera, Music! where they consciously chose to include more rarely performed fare from lesser known scores on the album. Which is a shame really. We really could use an album with stuff like Irina's Theme from KotCS or The Lost World concert version, music from War of the Worlds, A.I. or the three pieces from Lincoln. There is such a wealth of concert suites Williams has composed since the mid-90's that I would love to hear on such a disc or discs.

Exactly, so much great material; I can't believe they haven't done this yet. They could 'easily' do one CD with the usual pieces and then another CD with all the unreleased concert versions.

rough cut 1,714 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I’ve no love for none of those mentioned, but it’d be a hell of a lot more interesting than this. I keep hoping for Lights Camera Music Vol 2 where they include the Oscar-arrangement of The Book Thief and the new HS and The Princess arrangement.

Plus that heartbreaking new Hook arrangement we heard a few years back (before YouTube took the video down). I believe that's rarely been performed and only sprung up a few years ago around the time of Robin's death. So many goodies for a future album, especially Ivanka's Theme and TLW concert version. I thought the new Spielberg album contained those arrangements from Lincoln though? There's two versions of With Malice Towards None... are there others? And we desperately need a definitive recording of HS&TP (Revised Version). The LSO gave a splendid performance but it's tarnished by humming! Surprised it wasn't featured in this concert; it's one of Williams' best pieces in years (I guess we needed to hear Yoda's Theme for the thousandth time instead). At least we got the Adagio... bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Five Tones 302 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Williams has expressed admiration for Adams in the past - I wonder what he thought of the concerto. Despite their key differences, the music of John Williams and that of John Adams kind of meets in the middle... not to mention their names. They are both great symphonists who don't write symphonies in name, both evoking America of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, often from similar sonic angles.

Popular Post TownerFan 4,983 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2019 These are superb performances. I love how Dudamel conducts the music of Williams, with reverence and sincere joy. He seems to understand what makes JW music great, he's able to bring out so many great colours even from the most worn-out pieces like the Imperial March. Imho, this will be a reference recording for many years. Romão, Miguel Andrade, bollemanneke and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,066 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Love how they've shortened the opening of Olympic Fanfare and Theme! I've always thought it took the piece too long to get started. But the best version is anyway the one coupled with Bugler's dream as the intro.
